Second Grade Review & Practice

? Reading ? Writing ? Mathematics

Dear families,

As our community works to understand and respond to the effects of COVID-19, the Mukilteo School District sincerely appreciates your patience as we navigate this period of unprecedented school closures. Attached to this letter is a packet of materials to help you supplement your child's education while away from the formal school environment. Please feel free to use this grade-level packet to review and practice previously taught skills. It is not required, nor will it be graded. Students are encouraged to skip around and find topics of interest and practice rather than complete it from beginning to end. If you find that your child's grade level is too challenging, or not challenging enough, you are welcome to work outside of their current grade level. It is highly encouraged that your child continues to review and practice previously taught skills and remain engaged in learning. We hope these packets add to what you are already doing to support your child in learning during this challenging time.

Sincerely,

The Curriculum and Instruction Department Mukilteo School District
